I found these adorable printed buttons at Joann the other day called Wuttons. They have ones with flowers, animals, and other cute things. I knit a lot, so I was thinking of making a hat and then putting these cute buttons on it for my niece.

Sweaters! Baby sweaters more precisely. I've never knit a sweater for an adult because I am intimidated by the time commitment but I've made several sweaters for my 1yr old daughter. It's fun because you get to do all the shaping and stuff of a sweater but it only takes a few days.
